For instance, Battlestar Galactica is also returning, although we are not sure if it will be reminiscent of the 1978 original series or the reboot from 2004.

Deadline did reveal a rumored plot: “In the seventh millennium A.D., in a galaxy very far away, a thousand-year-old war rages that of humanity versus the Cylons, a mechanical race of beings. When the humans’ twelve planets are destroyed by a Cylon invasion force, the survivors flee in 220 spaceships following the Galactica — a gigantic battlestar spaceship — in a search for a “thirteenth” planet, an obscure little world known in folklore as ‘Earth.'”

In addition, Sam Esmail is working on the Battlestar Galactica reboot. He worked on the clever series Mr. Robot, among other things. Saved by the Bell is also getting a reboot! We know that writer Tracey Wigfield, who has worked on 30 Rock is writing the reboot.

Mario Lopez (Slater) and Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie) will return to reprise their roles in the show. They are working with Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Zack) to return as well. The rumored plot is this: “California Gov. Zack Morris (Gosselaar) gets into hot water for closing too many low-income high schools and proposes the affected students be sent to the highest-performing schools in the state — including Bayside High.”
